What a pleasure to wear this Rolex... It's a Datejust, but which Datejust? It's a 4-digit reference #1603 with a stunning patina dial... and, above all, an Engine-Turned bezel that makes all the difference with a "classic" Datejust with a fluted bezel. When I bought it ten years ago, I was looking for a fluted DJ, but quite frankly, it was impossible to find one with a bezel in decent condition and not completely destroyed by polishing. Guess what? I realized that there were other, less sought-after, less mainstream opportunities with this very atypical bezel! In the end, and with the benefit of hindsight, it's easy to wonder why I chose it by default... The 10 years I've spent with it have convinced me of one thing: it was made for me. Admittedly, it doesn't have a quickset date, the strap is flimsy and it's quite scratched, but it's my watch and I loved it the way I bought it, and I still love what it's become!
